ColdFusion MX support for JDBC drivers not shipped with ColdFusion
The purpose of this TechNote is to provide supportability information for the use of third party JDBC drivers that are not provided with ColdFusion MX.
ColdFusion provides JDBC drivers for a number of databases, which varies by edition of ColdFusion. However, it is also possible to use a third party JDBC driver. ColdFusion only supports third party JDBC drivers that are compliant with the Sun Microsystems JDBC 2.0 Spec. The specific JDBC driver documentation should state if the driver was built to the JDBC 2.0 Specification. It only needs to be compliant with the JDBC 2.0 Core API component; it does not need to be compliant with the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package API.
